Annie's visit to melbourne.

Annie visited me last month and we had a ball...
it was fun bringing her around Melbourne.
Showing her around the place that i have been living for nearly 2 years now.

She arrive early on a sunday morning.
Her first experience of Melbourne city is the tram....
haha...she got off the wrong stop.
we went around that afternoon.

Annie and the bronze man of Bourke Swanston intersection.

we had dinner at Ginza, a teppanyaki restaurant near my place.
plus my sis works there too....hehe


my cute little bro...lol

and of course we took a picture with the waitress too...

we went to the Melbourne aquarium the next day



there wasn't as much fish in Melbourne's aquarium but I think it's presentation on the whole is much better than Sydney's.

Wicked: The Musical
All year round Melbourne is host all kinds of event...
Last year Phantom of the opera was here,but I didn't get chance to see it.
So this time I make sure i didn't miss it.
and I pull Annie along too..hehe

Night view of Collin St.



After dinner, we head straight to the theater...

It was pack with people.
Unfortunately we are not allow to take any photos in the theatre.
But who say that will stop us?
hehe....here's a few unofficial photos





you must be wondering what is this musical about.
It tells the story of the stories of the witches of Oz before Dorothy arrive in the land of Oz.
And I would say after watching the whole musical I can't help but amazed by the effort put into the costume, the props, the music and most of all the story itself.
It was so touching in the end that I cried for the 'Wicked' Witch of the West.

all in all it was worth it.

after the musical I show Annie how Melbourne look like at night.

BBQ in mid july

ok I know it's nearly mid August right now.
but I have been planning to post up the pics for the BBQ for a long time.
just never really had the time to do it...hehe
It's been a crazy month so far.


So, what have i been up to?
BBQ at Vinci's place.
we started quite early that day, and mind you it was a chilly morning too...

it took us nearly an hour just to get the fire started cos no one in our group ever started a fire before.
I for one is lucky enough not to do all this when I go BBQ...hehe...

after an hour fumbling around with the charcoal and the starter
we finally get the BBQ started.



here the proof that I am actually part of the fire starting team... ^.^v

...another member of the team

let's just say 3 of us is really proud that we finally get the fire started.

and ever since then I never really left the BBQ pit cos it was the warmest place.
but it has it's price though, I smell like a BBQ chicken after the whole thing was over.



We were so hungry that before we finish cooking all of our food half of it is nearly gone.
haha....thanks to Kathy she was feeding each of us while we are BBQ-ing.
really test out her skill in feeding a patient.

lol...vinci must be really hungry...

...and she get her share.

Max and Grace really working hard....

meanwhile, Kathy is still busy feeding everyone.
It was a fun day out with my uni mates....
we actually had a crazy karaoke session after the BBQ....
it wasn't until 10 pm that I reach home on that day.
haha... even now I still have a smile on my face when i think back.
It will be awhile before we can have a gathering again.

Hence, the start of our sem 2 this year.
